  1. 49

    Music Appreciation Hour

    We talk about the movie I Am Number Four, new music we like, and then get totally distracted by Youtube. Feelin' fly like it's Quidditch!

  2. 48

    Sci-Fi-losophy

    An abortive attempt at talking about relationships, and then back to comic book movies, videogames & the plot to an incredibly confusing, futuristically-philosophical Sci-Fi book that hurts my brain...

  3. 47

    Hitler’s Mom

    It's freakin' Mother's Day! i hope you did something nice for your mom. I mean, even Hitler loved his mom. You don't want to be worse than Hitler, do you?

    Happy Anniversary

    Today we talked about Fast Five, The White Stripes, and looked in vain for a "Happy post-1-year anniversary of starting your own radio show 2 weeks ago!" Hallmark card. "Sentiments for all occasions" my ass!

  10. 40

    My ‘Riding-Into-The-Sunset’ Music

    Remember how, at the end of a movie when the bad guy is vanquished, the orphan is reunited with his parents, and the neverending battle for justice is finally over, the good guy is kissing his new girlfriend, and all the friend and loved ones that have died during the bad guy's rampage can finally be put behind them, even though it may have happened mere hours before, and they play that wonderful ending song and fade to credits? This is a collection of those kinds of songs. ...You know the end of Face/Off, when there's the pause and he walks through the door and is reunited with his family and their new son? That always gets me right here (sniff).

  11. 39

    The Soundtrack To Your Life (Behind the Wheel)

    ROAD TRIP!! Keep yourself awake and jumpin' at the wheel with this finely-crafted playlist of upbeat music, guaranteed to keep yourself from falling asleep, courtesy of me and my years of dedicated, obsessive playlist-makin' compulsions. Now I wanna' go on a road trip... anyone in?

    Halloween XIV: The Walking Dead

    There were so many zombies this Halloween, it's ridiculous! Overwhelmingly, at the Ashland Halloween Parade, the place was full of zombies. Which was great when they started playing Thriller, but not so great when all that dancing made them ...hungry.

  15. 35

    These Are The Melancholy Mechanics (Of My Mind)

    This is sad music for sad times... if you're in a funk and want a soundtrack, pull out the old yearbook or love-letters or whatever and give this episode a listen (+ an extra 40 min. of deleted content!!).

    The Amazing New [Untitled] Show!
